   A Telegraph investigation can reveal how corrupt officials in Afghanistan produce government letters threatening to kill asylum seekers. The letters are then used as evidence in asylum applications.

   To demonstrate how easily such documents can be obtained, an undercover Telegraph reporter paid Taliban officials £40 to produce three fake letters from different regional offices on official headed paper, signed by local administrators. […]

   The official offered two versions: a standard letter for £40 and a “premium” version — complete with an official stamp and a “100 per cent approval rate” — for £200.

     Unless you're requesting asylum from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, or Spain, I don't see why you'd have a claim to asylum in the UK.
     
     Now, I can understand why you'd request asylum from France, but for the most part people from those countries are happy to sleep in the beds they've made.
